Dunno if he'll be around tonight. Jouhei works at the vet and sometimes he gets busy.

[ zombie taste buds aren't too different from normal ones... ]

I'll try to speak with him when I can. [ That's all Nanashi can promise for now. ]

[maskreant]

... Have you thought about calling or texting him saying you would like to talk to him in-person?

[ Propping his head onto a hand, he stares at Nanashi. If you think you can stall as long as you can, boyo, you thought wrong. He just wants to keep you accountable!! ]

[reaquila]

Nope, it never crossed my mind.

[Woops.]

Doing that first might help? I hope I can manage this.

[Nanashi buries his head into the table and lies flat on his face.]

[maskreant]

[ Nanashi... Akira stands up and reaches over so he can gently pat his head. There, there, child. ]

It'll help so that you guys can't just keep missing each other.

[ He stops and settles back into his seat. ]

It's definitely easier over the phone since you can't see their face. You could even leave a voicemail instead? Or a text.

[reaquila]

A phone call would be easier, I agree. Maybe I'll stick with a voicemail.

[So he doesn't have to feel pressure, meeting Jouhei up front.]

I can just keep it short. Would that be okay? Everything else can be discussed in person.

[maskreant]

Yeah. You don't need to disclose everything. Just mention you want to talk to him in-person and that it's important.

[ Scratching his cheek, he rolls his eyes up to stare at the ceiling. ]

Just make sure it's easy to find you.

[ Basically, don't run off during times Jouhei would be back home. ]

[reaquila]

I'll do that then. My past self never ran away from anything. I don't really feel like using him as a role model since it's shit.

[He lifts his face up and tries to sit straight.]

Did your past self face things head on, Akira?

[maskreant]

... Kind of.

[ He never really though about it? Tugging on his bangs, he gives that some thought. ]

He took his time, but he always seemed so sure when he’s made a decision. There are only a couple of times where he falters, but it does’t even last long. It’s admirable.

[reaquila]

Really? That is pretty cool. Not everyone can be like that.

[Everyone falters at some point or another. To think that Akira's past self kept everything in control is kind of amazing???]

Makes me wonder what went through that guy's head.
